Chapter II

In the Tang Dynasty, almost everyone here was good at dancing, as well as music, calligraphy, painting, and polo, as if these were all showing the glory of the Tang Dynasty.

Shen Yuan is also called Shen Yuan here, she is a veritable eldest lady, her name is Pearl, and her location is Huzhou, where she was traveling at that time, but it is called Wuxing here.

Shen Yuan's family belongs to a family of eunuchs, the uncle is called Shen Congdao, the official position is relatively high, and his father is also an official, and he can't figure out what position he holds for a while.

Shen Yuan's life is also superior because of family relations, although there are still some men who are inferior to women in this era, but the eldest lady of a rich family is different, and her status is also very high.

The father here is an old stubborn, and he stipulates that girls still have to go out of the door, so as not to be contaminated with the atmosphere of the market, and he has not gone out once for five years.

Although Shen Yuan has been in the Tang Dynasty for a few years, he is always faintly uneasy. Why did she come to Datang, and where should she go in the future, she knew almost nothing about history, which made her very distressed.

Shen Yuan can't forget the modern thoughts, but here he learns another culture, as if he has a split personality, one will be like this and the other will be like that.

Although Shen Yuan's body is only five years old, there is a person in his 20s living in his soul, and the original five-year-old child can't remember anything at all, but Shen Yuan learns everything faster than others.

In the ancient world, children can't have the so-called innocence, especially this kind of official family, they have to learn a lot of things every day, looking at the children around them who are about the same size as their own bodies, Shen Yuan can't help but sigh for them, if they live in modern times, they must still be spoiled in their parents' arms at such an age.

Children in the Tang Dynasty began to learn etiquette from the age of three, and the respect and humility of the elder and young were also very obvious, and the etiquette of seeing different people was also different, and even eating was quite exquisite.

In addition to etiquette, music, dance, calligraphy, and painting, girls also have to learn female work. He started school at the age of five, which is more than the number of modern schoolwork.

These are nothing in Shen Yuan's opinion, and what Shen Yuan can't accept the most is the system of monogamy and multiple concubines, because of this, his current mother is not very happy.

Shen Yuan didn't yearn for ancient life at all, and the cumbersome things seemed to have become shackles, and there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him every day, and he couldn't even take a bath, sleep, or dress himself.

Shen Yuan's body is a child's body, but the soul is already in his 20s, which is very private in modern times, and it is said that ancient times were conservative, but in this way, ancient times were more open.

The mother here is also depressed every day because of her father's concubine, and she can't stand her naughtiness, and she will be punished by her mother to kneel in the ancestral hall every time she is naughty.

Such days are too boring day after day, and only festivals can make Shen Yuan happy, because you can do something else secretly without being discovered, Shen Yuan's birthday happened to coincide with this festival, which is the Qiqiao Festival, which is the modern Qixi Festival.

In ancient times, on this day, women would use flour to make various small animals, fry them in oil and call them "Qiaoguo", and at night display Qiaoguo, lotus pods, white lotus roots, red water chestnuts and so on in the garden. The girl threads a needle to the moon to pray that the weaver girl can give her a clever plan, and if she wears it well, it is called "skillful".

The women would also put the spiders they caught at noon in the box, and the next day they would open the box as if they had already formed a web.

Children don't have to do anything, they just need to wear beautiful clothes, eat delicious food and watch the dance at the family feast at the begging festival.

In the evening, when everyone was having a family banquet, Shen Yuan ran out of the banquet hall and sneaked into the study, Shen Yuan wanted to check why he came here and what fate he would face in the future, but after reading for a long time, he found that he couldn't understand the ancient text at all, let alone any content.

"It seems that this matter will be put aside for a while, but after a few years, this girl will definitely be able to, I used to be playful when I didn't study well, but now it's easy for me to learn these things."

Since this incident, Shen Yuan has carefully studied calligraphy every day, ancient articles are different from modern times, not only written words, but also meanings, and the meaning is the real expression of the content, when Shen Yuan was in school, he didn't like classical Chinese, and felt that classical Chinese was too difficult, but in ancient times, it was equivalent to starting from scratch.

There are still a lot of exquisiteness in calligraphy, and in just two years, Shen Yuan has learned a lot about the masterpieces of calligraphy, and has studied fonts.

In the Tang Dynasty, not only calligraphy, painting and dance were also necessary to learn, but fortunately, Shen Yuan was forced to attend extracurricular classes in dance and painting when she was a child, and she learned much faster than others.

Time flies quickly, and it has been two years in the blink of an eye, and Shen Yuan's dancing and painting have also reached a higher level, which makes Shen Yizhi, who originally didn't pay attention to his daughter, also look at her with admiration, and often come to see Shen Yuan.

"Pearl, why is the child reading at such a late hour, why don't you go to rest quickly."

Shen Yi walked into Shen Yuan's yard with a smile, and scared Shen Yuan.

"Why did Ye Ye come over so late, could it be that he was worried about his daughter's homework and wanted to teach him personally?"

Shen Yuan, who was only five years old, said the same thing as an adult, which made Shen Yizhi frown slightly, but it quickly disappeared.

"You, naughty. Ye Ye originally wanted to go to your aunt to rest, on the way to find that there was still light in your yard, so he came in to see, although it was cool outside the house in summer, but now it is late at night, more dewy, you are still young or better to rest earlier. You can't compare to your brothers. ”

"Yaye, is this looking down on his daughter? Brothers, you wish they had studied until late at night, and although the daughter was a woman, she thought that she was no worse than her brothers, and she was no less than her brothers, and yes yes should be treated equally. ”

Shen Yizhi listened to Shen Yuan's words, obviously with some displeasure on his face.

"Don't talk nonsense, when did Ye Ye treat you differently, but I was worried about your body, and you actually talked to Ye Ye like this?"

Shen Yuan also pursed her lips with some dissatisfaction.

Since Shen Yizhi came that day, Shen Yuan has rarely been able to contact calligraphy, and he was dragged to learn dance every day when he got up, almost everyone in the Tang Dynasty was good at dancing, and not only girls had to learn dance here, but even boys would learn it.

There are many kinds of dances in the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the dances that are usually performed, there are also Tiangong music, not only the famous rebound pipa, but also single and double towel silk dance, waist drum, flower rope, and so on.

Therefore, among the dances, Shen Yuan likes towels and silks the most, and the others are not only not interested in but also can't learn, because of the influence of Western Regions culture, most dances have spins, and Shen Yuan is dizzy and nauseous when she turns around, so she has no choice but to learn this dance.
